"This book looks at the conspiracies in everyday life, both hidden and not-so-hidden. It examines actual people, businesses, social networks, corporate alliances, and the dark forces of conspiracy and secret history that hold them together. The conclusions reached may shock and scandalize some people - especially those who fervently believe in democracy - but will fascinate everyone. ""Thom Burnett"" is a pseudonym used by one of Britain's leading experts on security and military matters, who served with UK Special Forces in the 1990s. 256 pp. April."
